GH taste tests gluten-free biscuits

Here at Good Housekeeping we love a biscuit, but for those with gluten intolerances, buying them can be tricky. So we decided to taste-test a number of gluten-free varieties and let you know which are our favourites.

Doves Farm Organic gluten-free Stem Ginger Cookies

These stem ginger cookies from Doves Farm taste just as you would expect a good ginger biscuit to: crisp, crunchy and with just the right amount of ginger and spice. They're ideal for dunking in your tea, or try whipping up a cheesecake with these as your base.

Available from Sainsbury's and Ocado, £1.95

Sainsbury's Freefrom chocolate chip cookies

We really liked these cookies from Sainsbury's, which have a generous amount of chocolate and a decent crunch. Enjoy with a cup of coffee in the afternoon or a glass of milk.

Available from Sainsbury's, £1.35

Making a change from the regular flavours of gluten-free biscuits, these peanut cookies from Mrs Crimble's are delicious and, with a good scattering of peanuts, you're guaranteed lots of peanut flavour and texture. They're crying out to be dunked into a good cup of tea.

Available from Tesco and Sainsbury's, £1.89

Waitrose Love Life gluten-free oat & raisin cookies

Waitrose has managed to create a gluten-free biscuit that's a little softer in texture than the others. There's a hint of spice, a good quantity of raisins, and they have a little chew, which we like.

Available from Waitrose, £2.10

The Good Housekeeping Cookery Team

An experienced and highly skilled team of food writers, stylists and digital content producers, the Good Housekeeping Cookery Team is a close-knit squad of food obsessives. Cookery Editor Emma Franklin is our resident chilli obsessive and barbecue expert, who spends an inordinate amount of time on holidays poking round the local supermarkets seeking out new and exciting foods. Senior Cookery Writer Alice Shields is a former pastry chef and baking fanatic who loves making bread and would have peanut butter with everything if she could. Her favourite carb is pasta, and our vibrant green spaghetti is her weeknight go-to. Lover of all things savoury, Senior Cookery Writer Grace Evans can be found eating crispy corn and nocellara olives at every opportunity, and will take the cheeseboard over dessert any time (though she cannot resist a slice of tres leches cake). With a wealth of professional kitchen know-how, culinary training and years of experience between them, they are all dedicated to ensuring every Good Housekeeping recipe is the best it can be, so you can trust they’ll work (and if they don’t – we’ll have the answer for why*) every time (*90% of the time the answer is: “buy an separate oven thermometer”!).
